Smithey Ironware Cast Iron Flat Top Griddle

It arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. However, like all cast iron, its nonstick performance will improve significantly the more you cook with it and maintain the seasoning layer.

Smithey polishes the interior to a glass-like finish, which is significantly smoother than standard, pebbly cast iron. While it is not a chemical nonstick coating, this smooth surface releases food much more easily once properly heated and seasoned.

Yes, this griddle is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its flat, heavy-gauge cast iron construction ensures excellent contact and even heat distribution across the surface.

The copper-colored finish is a natural patina that develops over time and with use. To maintain it, simply hand wash with warm water and a mild soap, dry thoroughly immediately, and apply a very light coat of oil before storing.

Absolutely. Because it is made of solid cast iron with no synthetic coatings, it is oven-safe up to 1700°F, making it perfectly suitable for high-heat searing or finishing dishes under the broiler.

The griddle is designed with a very low profile—just 0.25 inches in height. It is ideal for pancakes, eggs, and searing, but it does not have deep walls to contain significant amounts of liquid or grease.
